Cheetahs in a nail biter

Nail biter? Like last week maybe.

Cheetahs by 20, they are going to go for the bonus point and to increase a point difference.

 

[Gena_ZA]

sorry cyclone, we will never agree man...
Cheetahs by 21

 

[Bull]

Cheetahs by 36, possibly even more

Cheetahs by 21

And there I thought we were on the same page. I am disappointed to say the least.

Kings are vulnerable where the Cheetah's are strong on attack. Out wide.

We'll see.

I prefer the look of the new backline, with Andries Strauss at inside and Waylon Murray at outside it was clogging up our midfield somewhat, at least with Cooke and Grey arranged as they are we aren't completely without flair, and should be faster to cover wide ball.

I don't feel like Cheetahs have necessarily been good out wide at all (that's the bulls) they are more the type of team to get over the advantage line with clever inside balls or chip kicks, in Australia we managed to play the territorial game purely because none of the teams we played had a Morne Steyn, but do the Cheetahs?

I'm sure the Cheetahs will win, probably by about 10, but I don't think they have the right skill set to smash us as thoroughly as the Bulls did.

Thank you for your astonishing insight, I never knew we would!

Ok, thats my douche comment of the day.

The king are strongest with watson on the bench and Engelbrecht on, he really makes a big difference, but it takes two to cover Lappies, so I don't know if he would get sucked in. And the cheetahs are capable of a good aerial battle with their new flyhalf, Burton, and their FB, Daniller, put some huge boots downfield against the bulls.

Is this football? The bigger they are the harder they fall commitment and heart all you need just ask James O' Connor

Loftus = High Altitude = Massive punts

Try punctuation next time. It really is there for a reason.

After reading your post 7 times I still don't know what you meant to say. Except for the Loftus altitude bit.

Very happy for the Cheetahs, pity they missed out of the bonus point.
